The Cooperator Submission to the Florida Attorney General
Filed April 28, 2026; notarized, sworn under penalty of perjury — the complete submission supporting the state's investigation of OpenAI: the taxonomy, the institutional-response chronology, cross-platform validation, third-party harm documentation, and the sworn affidavit.
Published with the residential address redacted; the original is on file with the AG's office.
View the submission →The OpenAI correspondence chain
May 30 – June 13, 2025; DKIM-verified — the written acknowledgment of "a novel emergent behavior class" and the subsequent reclassification, reproduced with privacy-respecting redaction. The cryptographic signatures are independently checkable.

Read the specimens →The archive (qualified parties)
The cross-platform transcript corpus (ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Gemini — April 2025 to present), the complete correspondence record, and the testing substrate behind every published claim. Specific conversations can be requested to verify specific quotes. The published artifacts are designed to be citable on their own; the archive is what makes them independently verifiable.
